As a former elementary teacher, I was always
looking for new resources for reading or quick activities for short
periods of time. The Internet is a wonderful place to find all kinds of
puzzles, current events topics, and short stories.

For young readers, I have begun writing poems and short stories. The
first poem is hardly a poem...although it has lots of rhyme! Enjoy my
Animal Alphabet and come back next week for a new story! Add the next
page to your bookmarks of favorite places.

I am open to special requests from teachers and parents. Kids, send me
your Halloween jokes and riddles, please.
